Who killed Lucy Beale? EastEnders’ very own Ben Hardy has just put a BIG wager on murderer being Poppy Meadows

If anyone’s going to know who killed Lucy Beale, it’s the cast, right? So when Ben Hardy (aka Peter Beale) tells us he’s put a pretty hefty bet on it being Poppy Meadows, we’re going to get a little excited.

Well that’s exactly what just happened.

Firstly, Rachel Bright (the actress who played Poppy Meadows until her January exit) tweeted this:

But in all seriousness, we think Ben’s been a little hasty. We know everyone’s a suspect and everything but Poppy? Really? EastEnders bosses don’t want to hide the secret that much they’re going to bring back an old character who has nothing at all to do with Lucy.

Are they?

We realise Ben was probably just trying to quickly shift the spotlight from being on Peter Beale and probably hasn’t actually put a bet on it being Poppy.
